"Mr. Flint, is there anything else?" Zach managed to suppress his jealousy and asked.
Julien lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment. "Did you get a strange call or meet any strange people today?"
Strange call and strange people?
Zach shook his head in confusion. "No. Mr. Flint, did something happen?"
"Greta's lawyer is the former head of our group’s Legal Department," Julien said.
Zach thought for a moment and remembered a man’s face. "Do you mean Mr. West?"
"Yes." Julien raised his chin. "Dallin hired him for Greta. As Mr. West used to work in our group, Dallin asked him to convince me to let Greta off. However, the negotiation didn't go well, and it's very likely that Dallin will contact you or find someone else to inquire about me.”
Julien was sure that Dallin wouldn’t take the initiative to contact him.
After all, he was Alexander's son.
Dallin would by no means get in touch with the son of his rival in love.
"I see." Zach nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Flint. I didn't receive a strange phone call or meet any strange people today.”
Julien nodded. "That's good."
"By the way..." Zach suddenly thought of something. He pushed his glasses up his nose and asked, "What is the relationship between Dallin and Greta? Why did he do so much for her? Is Greta really his daughter?”
Julien remained silent with a sullen face.
Zach seemed to realize something from Julien’s silence, and his eyes widened. "She is really his daughter?”
Julien sneered, "She's just an illegitimate one."
Zach gasped, "Illegitimate daughter ... If I remember correctly, Greta is 27 years old. This means that…”
Zach continued to widen his eyes in surprise, but he didn't say anything else. He just felt truly sorry for Julien's mother.
He was one of the insiders knowing about Julien's mother's past.
Therefore, he was shocked to learn that Dallin had an illegitimate daughter in the third year of Julien's mother's marriage.
Dallin had promised to wait for her and never find another woman.
However, he not only found a secret lover, but even had an illegitimate daughter.
People in Jackal City used to praise Dallin’s fidelity, for he loved Julien's mother wholeheartedly and chose to stay single.
As a matter of fact, he never ceased hooking up with other women.
Julien's mother was really blind to falling in love with such a man.
Thinking of this, Zach silently cursed Dallin in his heart, and he asked with concern, "Mr. Flint, are you alright?"
He was already so angry when learning that Greta was the illegitimate daughter of Dallin.
Mr. Flint must be even angrier upon knowing Dallin’s true nature.
Mr. Flint's heart was getting weaker, so he must not be too angry or have too much emotion.
Zach was worried about Mr. Flint's health.
"I am fine." Julien squinted with a fierce expression. "I have long speculated about this, so I was mentally prepared when knowing the truth, and I won’t do some irrational things driven by anger. What's more, Leaf is with me all the time.”
Zach remained expressionless, but he secretly scolded Julien in his heart.
Sure enough, Julien would always find an opportunity to show his deep love towards Sydney.
Zack couldn't figure out why Mr. Flint still did this when he was concerned about him.
It was like biting the hand that fed you.
Zach could no longer put up with this, and he wanted to end up this conversation!
Thinking of this, Zach rolled his eyes, but he continued in a calm voice as if nothing had happened. "That's good. Mr. Flint, I'll hang up first, for there are some documents for me to deal with now.”
